Everyday Ultra – Details, episodes & analysis

If you’re lining up for 100 miles, your mindset needs to be strong. And that requires you to take a deeper look inside yourself to make sure that you have the trust and confidence to take on the miles.

For David Roche, he exuded this confidence, mindset, and belief in himself when he won his very first 100 mile race at the Leadville 100, shattering a course record that stood for many years.

And he credits a lot of his victory to his mindset, consistency, and belief in himself that he’s built over the many years.

David Roche is a running coach, podcast host of the Some Work, All Play Podcast, elite runner, and thought leader in the running space who has multiple podium finishes and is now the Leadville 100 course record holder.

In this episode, David shares how he was able to shift his mindset to dive fully into 100 miles with confidence, how he was able to build himself and his abilities to do great things in running, and training principles that helped him to be successful at Leadville.

Huge thank you to David for coming on the show!

Whenever we complete a race, it’s such an incredible high. People are cheering for us, while we have accomplished something incredible that means the world to us.

But after the confetti clears and the event ends, that high can wear away. And worse yet, our brains can sink to a level of post-race depression that feels really hard to kick.

For Brooks Bash, after he completed 100 marathons in 100 consecutive days and then ran 315 miles in the Speed Project, he faced this same issue. But took steps and got help to get himself into a better spot to love running again.And in this episode, Brooks shares how he was able to do that. Along with pushing through the low points that can come in an ultramarathon.Brooks Bash is the Founder of Earthy, which is an all-natural drink designed to give athletes sustained energy with no B.S. products. Brooks has also completed 100 marathons in 100 consecutive days, conquered the Speed Project solo of 315 miles in one shot, and has completed tons of other endurance accomplishments.

Huge thank you to Brooks for coming on the show!

Running in the heat is TOUGH. We’ve all been there on those hot runs that just feel harder, slower, and well, hotter. 

And since heat has a significant impact on our running performance, it’s super important to take the right steps to make sure your training is still solid, that you’re preventing dehydration and overheating, but ultimately, allowing yourself to perform to the best of your capability on the hot runs and races.

In this episode, Everyday Ultra coaches and UESCA Certified Ultrarunning Coaches, Joe Corcione and Liz Myers, chat about strategies to help you manage the heat while running.

They also discuss how you can optimize your running performance in the heat, how you can adapt your body to better handle heat, and how to apply cooling strategies to regulate your body temperature.

Liz and Joe live in Florida and Arizona, respectively, so this is a topic they’ve had to implement nearly every day of running.

Thank you so much for listening!

Welcome to the first episode of our newest type of episode: Product Reviews by Everyday Ultra! We'll be reviewing products on the show to test gear, nutrition, clothing, and overall stuff to see if it would actually be a useful product to use as an ultrarunner.

Today, we're reviewing The Long Run coffee blend, by Long Run Coffee, which is a Chicago-based company that makes coffees specifically for runners.

Their coffee is infused with electrolytes and is intended to help runners stay both hydrated and caffeinated before or after their runs.

It sounds amazing in concept. But is it actually worth the sip? I try out the coffee for myself after a run and see if it actually made me feel hydrated, and shared my thoughts here.

Thank you for listening!

To be a better ultraunner, it takes more than simply stacking on more mileage or adding in workouts to your training. In fact, it requires you to be holistically healthy if you want to perform at the highest level.

For Stefanie Flippin, that has helped her go from middle-of-the-pack runner to an elite endurance athlete and notching up wins and podium finishes at some of the most competitive ultras in the US. And in this episode, she shares what's helped her, so you can improve your own ultrarunning fitness.

Stefanie Flippin is a professional ultrarunner for Lululemon, an endurance coach, and co-host of the Making Strides Podcast. She was the 2021 USATF 100-mile National Champion and has notched wins at Tunnel Hill and other competitive ultras.

In this episode, Stef shares the key pillars to staying physically and mentally healthy, her suggestions for improving your speed as an ultrarunner, and how to spice up your training regimine to avoid burnout.

Huge thank you to Stef for coming on the show!

What does it take to run 200 ultramarathons in 200 consecutive days? Candice Burt joins us on the podcast to share those insights, as she recently accomplished that exact feat. And with that accomplishment, she broke the world record (which was only previously 22 days!).

Candice is no stranger to the endurance world. She is the founder of Destination Trail, which is the home of the legendary Triple Crown of 200’s, including the Moab 240, Tahoe 200, and Bigfoot 200. She is also an incredibly accomplished runner with multiple top 10 finishes in the HURT 100, tons of ultra finishes and podium appearances, and FKTs. She is also a mother of two on top of it all.

In this episode, Candice shares how she was able to push through the challenges that came with running 200 ultras, her mindset and strategy for taking on the challenge, and how she was able to handle all of the priorities in her life on top of completing the challenge.

Huge thank you to Candice for coming on the show!

Some of the best ultrarunners in the world line up to race the Western States 100 every single year, and 2023 was no different. This year, not only did I get to watch the race in person, but I also was able to crew last year's M10 runner during the race. And I learned so much when it comes to ultra training and racing, as well as how to have a dialed-in crew strategy.

In this episode, I break down some of the most interesting and useful ultrarunning tips I learned from the top athletes who competed in this year's Western States. Plus, I share some of what the best crews were doing to best help their runner, so you can make sure that you have a solid crew strategy for your next race.

We’re joined by thru-hiking legend, ultra athlete, and endurance coach, Jeff Garmire on this episode for another Monthly Long Run, where we ramble about all things hot in the ultrarunning world.

And in this episode, we dive into the big daddy of all US ultra races: Western States 100. In this episode, Jeff and I share our top picks for the race, our predictions and hot takes, and some of our commentary on the most interesting storylines out there.

We also dive deep on philosophical topics outside of Western States, such as not worrying about what other people think on Strava, chasing our big dreams and lessons learned from it, and how to find enjoyment in the process of doing hard things.

Huge thank you to Jeff for co-hosting this episode with me!
